Fantasy

I live in a time full of joy and free of tears, far removed from many generations of ancestors. A time of beauty, a time of eternality. How did I get here? Not so easily but so worth it! Eons ago, so long ago you cannot fathom, my ancestry fought the good fight. Not only did they fight the good fight, but they fought it with me, the very first born, and we won! Not alone, no, but with a supernatural force beyond our imaginations!

Among the horrors of that ancient time, our fight began with a magical force and broke through with divine intervention. Starting with my grandmother, her faith led her to answer the call of dreams, nightmares really, of invasions pure evil, but evil would not prevail. Taking her life savings, convincing my grandfather and the entire family to join her, she set out on a mission to save her offspring; to save the world.

On thirty small acres, she built a haven, a sanctuary where I would soon be born and fight evil once and for all. Through blood, sweat, and tears, we prepared the land to sustain us through the coming crisis. Starting simply with gardens sowed with heirloom seeds, canning, and a chicken coop, and on to cattle, a fishpond, and a hand-pump well, we built the land to self-sustain. Finally, we built a fence, stocked weapons and ammunition, and we bunkered down for the wild ride. We lost a few loved ones along the way, but as my generation grew strong, things fell into place, slowly but surely.

             As the new generation evolved, we grew stronger while they grew weaker. Too bad the weak included the old generations, my parents and grandparents, but they were happy to sacrifice their lives for us, for our future and theirs too. Although they didn’t know it at the time, they would live on in a future world. We didn’t know it back then, but when I was born, so was a new humanity. Not the kind you think, but the kind…well, you’ll see!

             Although a lot of the modern communication technologies had been destroyed, world news still got around. Suspicion began the first few months of my life. All the babies my age were healthy, no birth defects, no illnesses, perfect in every way. Most were perfectly healthy other than those we now know were fake reports of illness. Then, we all met our milestones earlier than usual and with flying colors and suspicion really gained momentum. Of course, more wars broke out because of this, and just when we thought things were normalizing again, even for this evil era, we found more obstacles to overcome to weed out evil.

             Oh well, we kept growing stronger, fighting stronger until we were grown. Still healthy, and stronger than ever, I was thirty years old and had never been sick or injured, neither had any of my family or friends born after me. There were quite a few who were younger than me who suffered like my parents and grandparents, but sadly, I couldn’t help them. By then, the world was in a tailspin trying to figure out what happened to that generation, if it would continue, and how to stop it. Why, though, why would someone want to stop a good thing?

             Maybe it was an effort to bring some resemblance of an economy back. Since I was born, the need for doctors slowly declined. As old generations died off and new ones never got sick, the need for medical attention disappeared. Law enforcement slowly dwindled as laws were no longer being broken, at least not by the new generation. Drug use was down so the drug pushers and pharmacies were going out of business one by one as they killed each other off and died of old age or people just didn’t need the prescriptions anymore. The political arena was still a disaster, and warriors were still at war. These were difficult areas for the new generation to be involved with as they just didn’t seem to fit our spirits.

             As time continued to pass and we continued to fight our battles, life finally came full circle. Within a hundred years after my birth, the last of the evil spirits had died. Finally, there were absolutely no more hospitals, no doctor’s office of any kind, no abortion clinics, no police or fire stations, no prisons, no pharmacies, and no street drugs. Political parties had vanished and there was no need for courts of law or attorneys. Now, there were only amusement parks, museums, music, art, farms, restaurants and shops, pristine beaches, mountains, and deserts, super-modern transportation vessels and anything good you can imagine.

How could that be? Because the Holy spirit was born within us! Someone finally took credit for it fifty years earlier. A famous geneticist said they had found the God gene and spread it through the rainwater. We knew better, though, because my grandmother had told us the truth, the truth about how that first new generation, my generation, timed perfectly with the power of the Lord. Although they don’t know for sure, but she thinks it happened from the Word of God coming from Jesus straight down from heaven. That one moment when everyone on earth, even the deaf, heard the loud booming words from the sky. It sounded like thunder that turned into words and everyone heard it at once, it simply said, “let it be done on earth as in heaven.”

And the rest is history. When I said I was the first born, I was the first baby conceived after Jesus spoke, and it was an honor to lead the new generation. I now live in the year One Million and Ten and going strong, still looking like a thirty-year-old! Yes, we are all unique, have personalities just like before, but without evil and without sin we contribute unselfishly to our society. Instead of fussing, fighting, jealousy and greed, we give to each other unconditionally. We do not outgrow the earth, but the earth mysteriously grows with us. Because sin was eradicated, and God made good on his promise to send Jesus back, he is now our ruler and has raised the dead who believed in him. Now, I live with all my loved ones again in a perfect, renewed world of love and luxury. No, we never die and have all the children we desire. No sin, remember! YOU should try it!
